Rinehart is known for murder mysteries, in the style of Agatha Christie. She is credited with coining the phrase “the butler did it!” She also created the “had-I-but-known” style of mysteries. The best fact about Rinehart is that she created a costumed "super-criminal" she named "The Bat" which was adapted for the 1930 movie, “The Bat Whispers”, inspiring Bob Kane's creation of "Batman" first published in Detective Comics in May, 1939.
